Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the issue of rising vehicle connectivity costs due to the increasing number of vehicle interactions. To address this problem, the patent proposes a system and method that can hold onto non-urgent vehicle communications until they can be transmitted with other higher priority vehicle communications. This will reduce the number of vehicle interactions and thus can reduce vehicle connectivity costs without resulting in data loss.

Problems solved by technology

Each of these notifications also comes with transactional costs.
As a result, with the number of vehicle interactions increasing on a daily basis, the cost of vehicle connectivity is rapidly rising.

Abstract

One general aspect includes a method to transmit one or more over-the-air software updates, the method including: (a) receiving, via a controller, a software update; (b) receiving, via a controller, a vehicle command request; (c) in response to the vehicle command request, via the controller, generating a communication package including update callback information based on the software update and a vehicle command based on the vehicle command request; and (d) transmitting, via the controller, the communication package to a vehicle. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Description

INTRODUCTION[0001]Vehicle communications are generally sent from the backend as Short Messaging Service (SMS)-based Over-The-Air (OTA) notifications. Each of these notifications also comes with transactional costs. As a result, with the number of vehicle interactions increasing on a daily basis, the cost of vehicle connectivity is rapidly rising. However, if it is possible to reduce the number vehicle interactions while still conveying all necessary information, vehicle connectivity costs can be reduced without resulting in data loss. It is therefore desirable to provide a system and method that will hold onto non-urgent vehicle communications until they can be transmitted with other higher priority vehicle communications because this system and method can reduce the number of vehicle interactions and thus can reduce vehicle connectivity costs.SUMMARY[0002]A system of one or more computers can be configured to perform particular operations or actions by virtue of having software, fi...
